Hi I'm new to this, thought I'd give it a go as I don't know what else to do. Where I live we do not have GA meetings. I have been gambling for around 15 years and seem to be getting worse as the years go on. Doesn't matter if it's online, in the bookies or buying scratch cards I will do it. I used to have a lovely car, motorbike and could spend money on clothes and things but not anymore. Instead I am stuck working one fulltime job in a bank and two other part-time jobs and still have no money to show for it. I have also sold my car and motor bike which I gambled the money for and am now left with an old banger worth nothing. I also owe loan companies around 15k as I keep topping up to gamble. Once again I have just been paid and blown everything. I've even avoided getting a boyfriend as I am too ashamed of my problem. Can't keep going on like this, just don't know how to stop 🙁
